Best HRIS for global teams: employer of record, payroll and holidays by country (2026)

Each option, and who it fits

1. Deel HR

   Best for a team that wants HR, payroll and employer of record for many countries in one system

   Deel HR is built for the multi-country case. One system holds employees, contractors and employer-of-record workers, and its HR page says local compliance, employment contracts and country-specific time off rules are built into its workflows across 150+ countries. Its pricing page shows both 130+ and 150+ countries for employer of record. We use 130+ here, and you should ask which countries apply to your hire.

   Deel's own employer of record starts at $599 per employee per month, contractor management starts at $49 per month, and contractor payments are offered in 120+ currencies. HR itself is Core $5, Advanced $19 and Elite $29 per employee per month. Payroll is its own product at $29 per employee per month, in the US or across 130+ countries worldwide.

   Time off policy templates are pre-built for each country's rules. Employer-of-record employees get paid days off on Deel-recognized holidays in their country, and the holiday is not deducted from their leave balance.

   Look elsewhere if: your team sits in one or two countries, so the employer-of-record and contractor tools go unused.

2. Rippling HR

   Best for a company that wants employer of record, global payroll and HR on one platform and will work from a quote

   Rippling runs its own employer of record in 115 countries and onboards contractors in 180+ countries. Its employer of record page describes EOR, payroll, HRIS and benefits in one global platform. Global payroll calculates local taxes and deductions and converts currencies automatically in supported countries, and it files only in specific markets.

   Its global HRIS page says every country has its own leave rules and holidays, and that Rippling manages time off policies across locations and tracks balances. The page does not say which countries have built-in holiday calendars. Pricing is by quote. The page gives a starting point of $8 per employee per month, mentions a monthly base fee without stating it, and prices each product on its own.

   Look elsewhere if: you need a price before a sales call, or want to check country-level holiday coverage on paper first.

3. HiBob

   Best for a mid-sized or multinational company that wants native payroll in the US and UK and regional HR rules

   HiBob describes Bob as an HR and payroll platform for mid-sized and multinational companies. It runs payroll natively in the US and the UK. For other countries its Payroll Hub connects providers such as ADP WFN, Paylocity, TriNet and Xero, so payroll outside those two countries stays with a partner.

   Core supports multiple languages and regional workflows. Time off policies can be set by location, department or employee group, and local holiday calendars can be configured per region. HiBob's compensation tools handle multiple currencies, entities and geographies. Pricing is quote-only, and a demo is the only free option.

   Look elsewhere if: you need your HR vendor to employ people for you in a country where you have no entity. Ask HiBob how that would work, since its payroll outside the US and UK runs through partners.

4. Toku HR

   Best for a team that already pays people in several countries and wants holidays and leave handled per country

   Toku HR is Toku's own product. It adds the statutory holidays of each employee's country to time off, alongside leave types with accruals, requests and approvals, so a team spread across countries does not set up every national calendar itself. Plans cost $125, $225 or $325 a month for up to 25 employees, and contractors are free. Toku HR is included at no charge for companies that use Employer of Record (EOR), PEO or Agent of Record (AOR), and costs $49 a month flat, however many people you have, for companies that use contractor management or stablecoin payroll.

   Toku HR does not run payroll, and Toku is not the employer under it. For a hire in a country where you have no entity, Toku offers employer of record in 100+ countries as its own service, and it sells global payroll apart from the HR product. Rippling and Deel HR put employer of record and HR in one system. With Toku they are separate services.

   It is narrower than most platforms here, and applicant tracking, review cycles, surveys and a mobile app are not included. Separately from Toku HR, Toku's payroll integration with BambooHR lets BambooHR stay the system of record while Toku pays a global team.

   Look elsewhere if: you want HR, payroll and employer of record in one product. Toku HR covers the HR part, and the rest are separate Toku services.

5. BambooHR

   Best for a team that wants an established HR system and will add employer of record through a partner

   BambooHR's global employment page lists employer of record in 90+ countries and contractor management in 200+ countries and jurisdictions. Its partner Remote runs both, and they are sold as an add-on. Hiring and onboarding start in BambooHR, while payroll and benefits for those workers are handled on Remote's platform.

   Local holiday schedules and region-based time off rules are set through locations. The platform supports eight languages and localized formats for currencies, phone numbers and ID types. BambooHR's own payroll add-on covers US employees only. The UK, Australia and New Zealand connect to Xero Payroll, and other countries use partner payroll providers.

   Look elsewhere if: you want employer of record, payroll and HR from one vendor on one platform.

6. Factorial

   Best for a team that wants public holidays and absence policies set per country, with payroll through local providers

   Factorial's help center says public holidays import automatically for each country once governments publish them, and its holidays page says policies can differ by location and contract type. The help center also says headcount planning handles several currencies across countries and legal entities, and it separates workplaces from legal entities.

   By default Factorial does not calculate payroll itself. It prepares payslip data, and its help center lists payroll connectors by country: a3innuva for Spain, DATEV for Germany, Silae for France, Zucchetti and TeamSystem for Italy, PHC and Primavera for Portugal, and Sage. Its about page does not state that it offers employer of record or its own global payroll. Starting prices differ by country site: $8 per user per month on its US page, 5.40 GBP on its UK page and 8 EUR on its German page.

   Look elsewhere if: you need your HR vendor to provide employer of record or to run payroll itself in several countries.

7. Gusto

   Best for a US company that pays a few contractors overseas but runs employee payroll at home

   Gusto is US first. Its pricing page lists US payroll plans, with Simple at $49 a month plus $6 per person up to Premium at $180 plus $22, and no HR-only plan. For people abroad, its Global page lists international contractor payments and employer of record through Remote. Contractors can be paid in more than 120 countries.

   Its time off accrues by pay period, calendar year or work anniversary, per its developer documentation. Around payroll it lists onboarding checklists, e-signatures, an applicant tracking system and performance review templates. Because its payroll plans are US plans, it fits a US company with some contractors overseas better than a team with employees in many countries.

   Look elsewhere if: you employ people outside the US. Its payroll plans are US plans.
